Company mission

To empower maritime and trade professionals through actionable data and collaborative workflows.

Our take

The dry cargo industry has been an industry reluctant to digitally evolve, and to this day relies heavily on email to communicate and hold data. But this means moving at the pace of email, and spending hours looking through them for broker-led indices. Shipfix extracts and aggregates emails into market data for instant viewing, and delivers a messaging platform to facilitate collaboration in the industry.

Shipfix was founded in 2018 as a response to the stagnant communication procedures and lack of data-driven insight in the industry. With Shipfix’s tools, users can share leads, contacts and ship details, manage the process of those leads and target business contacts accurately. The e-mail crunching market monitor allows instant search and filter of structured market offers; and a partnership with RightShip, the world’s biggest maritime due diligence organisation, allows its clients access to a breadth of additional data.

Shipfix serves customers in hundreds of cargo categories, who are mainly chartering or fixing ships, but the company also has plans to onboard commodity traders, insurers, banks, governments, and investment firms to the platform. Funding raised by Shipfix is cited to go towards expanding operations and increasing reach for the company.
